92 toyota pickup 2wd. HELP!!!!

I have a 1992 Toyota PIckup 2wd truck. My truck is fuel injected. The problem is that when I am trying to start my truck when turning it over sounds like the battery is dead. Then on the next time it sounds like a ignition on a carborated vehicle. like its trying to fire. then maybe on the fourth time it starts right up. Is my battery screwed up? Alternator? starter? thanks

A common problem with that year is the solonoid contactor on the starter. It can be purchased as a kit from the dealer and installed with the starter on the bench. The bolts are somethines very hard to take off. Make sure you have a good 6 or 8 point socket. When they come loose they could crack a knuckle! Good luck
